The two both star in Apple TV+'s drama The Morning Show, and Jennifer won the gong in 2020; it was her first SAG Award win for an individual performance. Elsewhere, the guild - made up of working actors in the industry - snubbed Kristen Stewart and Spencer entirely.

The actress missed out on a spot in Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role.

Jessica Chastain, Olivia Colman, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Hudson and Nicole Kidman took the five spots.

Jennifer Hudson's name has been mentioned in the awards race since Respect, a biopic on the late great Aretha Franklin, debuted earlier in 2021, although her potential has ebbed and flowed.

The studios push to get her name back into the conversation, including a recent appearance in The Hollywood Reporter's actress roundtable, has worked, and the actress and singer - who found fame on American Idol - is a favorite of the Academy's already, having won Best supporting actress for her work in Dreamgirls in 2006.

Ariana Debose and Will Smith both continue their push for a potential nod at the Oscars, with Ariana picking up a nomination here for West Side Story, although the film - which won three Golden Globes on Sunday - missed any other nominations including Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture which went to Belfast, CODA, Don’t Look Up, House of Gucci, and King Richard.

Will, who also won the Golden Globe on Sunday, goes up against Javier Bardem, Benedict Cumberbatch, Andrew Garfield and Denzel Washington for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role.
